What impact has FOI had? Dr Ben Worthy of Birkbeck University takes to the stage to tell all #FOI25
“1 in 10 people in the UK have made an FOI request - it’s not just the journalists”
Oh fab! Special recognition awards for Maurice Frankel and Carole Ewart from the campaign for FOI in recognition of all their work on FOI over the last 20+ years. #FOI25
Great lessons and insights from the Campaign for FOI (& FOI Scotland). It’s fascinating to see how FOI has shaped public services over the last 20/25 years.
And while both acts can always be improved, remembering what it’s aiming to do is key to working with it. #FOI25
Lots of great points so far that relate to effective records management (or lack of).
I still think it’s an area IG ‘neglects’ (in general) and it should be front and centre with FOI and Data Protection. #FOI25
Next up @da.vidh.scot , OSIC delivers the 2nd keynote of the day. #FOI25
“83% agreed that FOI helps to prevent bad practice in public bodies”
